WoW 3.3.5 / CoA does not support numeric FileDataIDs in Set(*)Texture — only string paths. Upstream Ace3 uses FDIDs in 42 places across AceGUI-3.0/widgets and AceConfigDialog-3.0, which silently fail and render as red placeholders (visible as solid-red squares where color swatches, checkboxes, and window chrome should be). Substituted each FDID with the string path documented in the trailing comment. Files touched: AceGUI-3.0/widgets/AceGUIContainer-Frame.lua (5) AceGUI-3.0/widgets/AceGUIContainer-TreeGroup.lua (4) AceGUI-3.0/widgets/AceGUIContainer-Window.lua (12) AceGUI-3.0/widgets/AceGUIWidget-CheckBox.lua (9) AceGUI-3.0/widgets/AceGUIWidget-ColorPicker.lua (3) AceGUI-3.0/widgets/AceGUIWidget-DropDown-Items.lua (3) AceGUI-3.0/widgets/AceGUIWidget-Heading.lua (2) AceGUI-3.0/widgets/AceGUIWidget-Icon.lua (1) AceConfig-3.0/AceConfigDialog-3.0/AceConfigDialog-3.0.lua (3) Documented as patch #1 in README.md.
coa-ace3
Canonical Ace3 bundle for the CoA Guild 'Exiles' addon forks.
Lifted from upstream WoWUIDev/Ace3 at commit
52e5f2c
(2026-05-17), with a single CoA-compat patch on top (see below). Every fork in the Exiles
org should converge on this bundle so the runtime LibStub resolution is predictable and addons
can't quietly regress when one of them is disabled.
CoA-compat patches on top of upstream
| # | Issue | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Upstream Ace3 calls Texture:Set*Texture(<FileDataID>) with numeric FileDataIDs in 42 places across AceGUI-3.0/widgets/* and AceConfigDialog-3.0. FileDataIDs are a retail-only API (post WoD/Legion). On the WoW 3.3.5-based CoA client, SetTexture only accepts string paths — passing a number silently fails and the engine renders a red placeholder. Symptom: solid-red squares where color swatches / checkboxes / window chrome should be. |
Each FDID call was substituted with the string path that already lived in the trailing comment, e.g. colorSwatch:SetTexture(130939) → colorSwatch:SetTexture("Interface\\ChatFrame\\ChatFrameColorSwatch"). |

How to consume
Option 1: source bundle (preferred for forks)
Each Exiles/coa-* fork should rsync the libs it embeds from this bundle, so the diff is uniform:
rsync -a /path/to/coa-ace3/AceAddon-3.0/ /path/to/coa-foo/Libs/AceAddon-3.0/
Or replace the entire Libs/Ace3/ tree in one go.
Option 2: standalone addon
Drop the contents (except README.md / .gitattributes) into
Interface/AddOns/Ace3/ and the loadable Ace3.toc will register every library at top
priority via LibStub. Useful for non-bundling forks (chatter, sexymap, clique, …) to
get Ace without each one carrying its own copy.
Sync policy
Bumping upstream means a single commit here, then a sweep across every fork that embeds these
libs. Note the new upstream commit in the README's commit-pin line above, and re-apply
the CoA-compat patches listed above against the new revision (the FDID one is mechanical —
see /tmp/fix_fdid.py history). Keep patches minimal and documented in this README;
prefer fixing them upstream where reasonable.
